From their beginnings in 1995, the \u003cem\u003eLibraries Without Walls\u003c\/em\u003e conferences have mapped a major change in the practice of librarianship. While library services are still concerned to provide users with physical access to their buildings, electronic access - often from remote locations - is becoming ever more dominant. Library services are being integrated into virtual learning, research and personal environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2007 CERLIM wished to encourage the widest possible range of papers to reflect the diverse current developments in library service delivery. These covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew kinds of service, especially those that open up new paradigms of 'library' - perhaps the library equivalent of YouTube or MySpace \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe library's role within new models of scholarly publishing, including experience of developing services based on institutional or other repositories, and the responsibility of the library for digital curation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eService delivery in challenging environments, especially where the infrastructure may be sub-optimal, as in some developing countries, or where the user group represents particular challenges \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew technological solutions and the impact on users of the improved services they make possible \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery and assessment of information skills\/literacies, especially where this is achieved through electronic environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese state-of-the-art papers are designed to increase understanding of the role and importance of information in the learning process, and to enable information professionals and course developers to keep abreast of the latest developments in this vital area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575998275822,"sku":"9781856046237","price":109.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781856046237.jpg?v=1720962703","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/libraries-without-walls-7-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
